Rab11a is a Rab GTPase associated with recycling membrane traffic. It helps organize the return or redistribution of internalized components and contributes to polarized delivery in several cell types. Its effectors connect nucleotide state to targeting and motor systems. A recycled receptor can regain surface availability without being synthesized again, illustrating how trafficking changes cellular responsiveness on short timescales. [ref]
